What microneedling does (in plain English)

Microneedling uses very fine, controlled micro-channels to trigger a healing cascade. Your skin responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin, thickening the epidermis and smoothing irregularities over the next 4–12 weeks. No heat, no lasers—just your body’s own repair system working smarter.

Who’s a good candidate?

You’re likely a candidate if you want non-surgical improvement in scars, lines, pores, or texture and can pause active retinoids/actives before treatment.
We’ll delay treatment for pregnancy/breastfeeding, active breakouts, open wounds, recent isotretinoin, uncontrolled eczema/psoriasis in the area, keloid tendencies, or recent sunburn.

Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling

Microneedling (this page): pure mechanical collagen induction; excellent for texture, pores, mild lines; minimal downtime.

RF Microneedling: adds radiofrequency heat for more tightening in deeper layers; often chosen for laxity/jowls.

Realistic expectations

Microneedling can deliver impressive smoothing and scar refinement over time, but it is not a one-and-done. Think of it as a progressive, natural remodel of your skin’s scaffolding. Individual results vary.

FAQs


Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes—when performed correctly, it’s suitable for Fitzpatrick I–VI. We adjust depth/passes and home care to reduce PIH risk.

Does it hurt?
With topical numbing, most clients rate discomfort as mild to moderate (a scratchy vibration).

How many sessions will I need?
For texture/pores: often 3–4. For acne scarring: 4–6+ with focused passes and optional exosomes.

When will I see results?
Early glow within 1–2 weeks; collagen remodeling peaks around 8–12 weeks and continues to improve for months.

Can I combine with tox/fillers/peels/laser?
Yes, with proper sequencing. We’ll map your plan to avoid interactions and optimize timing.

Any side effects?
Temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness/flaking. Less commonly: pinpoint bruising, minor swelling. Follow after-care to minimize risk.
